    I recommend

    Frankly, this processor is pretty cool and powerful for the price.
    Combine it with a AMD RX 6600 and 16GB of ram, and you've got the job done.

    Very good value for money

    Very good value for money. Be careful with the packaging because the processor is fragile. It is installed in a home server and its energy consumption is also a good point.
